A Novel High Discriminatory Protocol for the Detection of Borrelia afzelii, Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Stricto and Borrelia garinii in Ticks [PDF]

Pathogens, 2022
Bacteria of the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex are the causative agents of Lyme borreliosis (LB). Even if the conventional diagnosis of LB does not rely on the species itself, an accurate species identification within the complex will provide a ...

First report of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto detection in a commune genospecies in Apodemus agrarius in Gwangju, South Korea [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
Lyme disease is a tick-borne infectious disease caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex. However, the distribution of Borrelia genospecies and the tissue detection rate of Borrelia in wild rodents have rarely been investigated.

Evidence for Host-Genotype Associations of Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Stricto [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Different genotypes of the agent of Lyme disease in North America, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, show varying degrees of pathogenicity in humans. This variation in pathogenicity correlates with phylogeny and we have hypothesized that the different phylogenetic lineages in North America reflect adaptation to different host species.

Borrelia burgdorferi Sensu Stricto DNA in Field-Collected Haemaphysalis longicornis Ticks, Pennsylvania, United States [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2021
We collected questing Haemaphysalis longicornis ticks from southeastern counties of Pennsylvania, USA. Of 263 ticks tested by PCR for pathogens, 1 adult female was positive for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto, yielding a 0.4% infection rate. Continued

Increasing Prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto–Infected Blacklegged Ticks in Tennessee Valley, Tennessee, USA [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018
In 2017, we surveyed forests in the upper Tennessee Valley, Tennessee, USA. We found Ixodes scapularis ticks established in 23 of 26 counties, 4 of which had Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto–infected ticks.

Differences in Genotype, Clinical Features, and Inflammatory Potential of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto Strains from Europe and the United States [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2016
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto isolates from patients with erythema migrans in Europe and the United States were compared by genotype, clinical features of infection, and inflammatory potential.

Оптимізація полімеразної ланцюгової реакції для моніторингу інфікованості іксодових кліщів Borrelia burgdorferi [PDF]

Науковий вісник ветеринарної медицини, 2022
Визначення показників інфікованості іксодових кліщів збудниками кліщового бореліозу та встановлення належності до патогенного генотипу за допомогою методу ПЛР є важливою складовою для проведення моніторингу, оцінки ризиків та контролю епізоотичної ...

Genetic landscape of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto in Canada: a study of genetic diversity. [PDF]

Sci Rep
Abstract Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto (s.s.), the causative agent of Lyme disease in North America, exhibits considerable genetic diversity. In order to gauge rates of recombination and the degree of geographically structuring within the population we carried out a comprehensive whole ...

A CRISPR/LbCas12a system for Borrelia burgdorferi sensu stricto detection in blacklegged ticks. [PDF]

J Med Entomol
Abstract CRISPR/Cas systems have the potential to revolutionize DNA detection of vector-borne pathogens with highly specific and user-friendly assays. One such system, named DNA Endonuclease Targeted CRISPR Trans Reporter (DETECTR), uses a guide RNA (gRNA) and Cas enzyme to bind to and cut DNA targets.
